I agree with you. I think they are a good fit. Apple is looking for a major acquisition and this is it.
1. Nintendo can keep it's culture. Make the best games in the world.
2. Apple just need to continue making the best handheld game machine in the world.
3. Both companies already admire each other.
4. Apple TV/Nintendo combo will be a blockbuster.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ca4d8c17f8b9aa157f200005adatThu, 30 Sep 2010 14:36:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ca4d8c17f8b9aa157f20000
What a misleading headline. Nintendo slashed guidance because their successor to DS slipped. And as happens with game hardware, once you announce a follow up, sales of the predecessor tank. That's been happening with the DS ever since 3DS was announced, and it accelerated after Nintendo wowed the crowd with a prototype at E3.
Moreover, Nintendo and iPhone serve two vastly different markets. And where they intersect with games, they serve vastly different needs. Just wait until 3DS launches, then run a comparison of the crowds who line up for it with photos of those who lined up for iPhone 4. (This seems right up the alley of anecdotal photo pieces BI likes to run.)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ca4b2f27f8b9ac210810300GlazThu, 30 Sep 2010 11:55:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ca4b2f27f8b9ac210810300

lame idea. It'd just result in a culture clash of biblical proportions. It sounded really good to AOL/Time Warner too, and look how that one turned out.
there's only room for 1.5 competitors in this space. We'll find out if Nintendo stick around in a few years.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ca37ee47f8b9a423b140700GodWed, 29 Sep 2010 14:01:08 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ca37ee47f8b9a423b140700
This is why Apple should acquire Nintendo...reasons why it makes sense:
(1) The software sales that are possible with historical games on the Apple Platform would be significant
(2) Provides Apple the opportunity to keep nintendo content to their platform, hurting Google/Microsoft
(3) An Apple/Nintendo combination in Japan could actually hurt Sony significantly, more so than MS has been able to do with the Xbox there.
(4) Apple TV or Set-top box is going to deliver gaming to the TV, Nintendo Wii already has an installed based and Nintendo's "kid friendly" gaming goes well with the Apple "fun gaming" message.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ca341a97f8b9a9949b30000dvdivxWed, 29 Sep 2010 09:39:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ca341a97f8b9a9949b30000
This is why a Sony-Android-PSP phone would crush out Nintendo. Combine it with a cheaper non-phone PSP for kids and you've got a winner.
